I want to put an auto tranny from a 94 EF Futura
into a 96 EF GLI
The 96 EF does not seem to have a kick down cable off the throttle body!
The 94 model definately has one!
Can this be done?
What problems do I face?

OHHH Anton you are so uninformed!
The first series of BTR 4sp Auto were a LEMON. weak internals + BIg$$$ rebuild/ changeover.
Never use anything older than an EF Box. I personally know of several people including myself that had earlier boxes hernia at around 150,000-200,000 klm. Mine was a late(94) ED and it was dealer serviced and not thrashed.
My EF has done 350,000klm (touch wood) so far no worries. The main thing is to use the right oil and keep them cool as when the trans fluid overheats it loses it's ability to protect the box. So we all recommend a trans cooler be fitted esp if towing.

I think you are talking about the 85LE transmissions which did have problems, 91LE's etc. are O.K. My ED has done 375,000 on the original gearbox and is still running strong.

They are a straight swap. V8 autos r different from the 6's most parts are interchangable except some pumps, e.g. early pumps cannot go into au's ba's etc. XR6 turbos also run the Au XR8 auto. 91 - 95 are different as they hav band adjustment screws on them, au n ba bells housings r different.
